The defaults contained in the released 1.3.4 package are DIFFERENT from the 1.3.3 release causing some location differences. In 1.3.3, the "GNU" layout (in 1.3.4 config.layout) was employeed. I was surprised that with the same configuration and run files that things were placed in areas different than 1.3.3 thus confusing some of support programs and me. My first clue, I installed and generated the new apache 1.3.4 but then looked at the mod output and noticed that the restarted httpd was still 1.3.3. This type of change MUST be documented as a README in the base distribution directory instead of having everybody run into it and become confused. I'll bet others are having this problem too. >How-To-Repeat: oh yes.... >Fix: README file in the base distribution indicating how this feature works. >Audit-Trail: From: "M. D.

BTW, I DO like the feature, but not the lack of information here.
